Abstract: A disc-supported,
double-layer, point-pivoted, thrust bearing is analyzed by means
of the thermoelastohydrodynamic theory. The pressure, as well as
the three-dimensional heat conduction and the three-dimensional
thermoelasticity are calculated with the boundary element
method. An iteration scheme to accelerate the convergent process
of the pressure centre is developed. The effects of load,
velocity, insulator ect.on the behaviour of the bearing are
investigated.
Key words:
